Outstanding!!!
Couldn't disagree more with Boolez. Good music is always "hip and relevant," and there's nothing kitschy about what O'Riley and Haimovitz accomplish on this recording. On the contrary, the juxtaposition of seemingly disparate music from bands like Arcade Fire, Cocteau Twins and Thom Yorke and company with Stravinsky and other great composers makes clearly evident the common threads running through all great art. Christopher O'Riley is an outstanding composer and arranger, and this album is no cheap collection of soulless orchestral versions of popular rock pieces. His work arranging numbers from Radiohead is mind-blowing. I just returned from seeing him perform live with Haimovitz, and just about came out of my front row seat when I heard him launch into pieces from various 4AD artists. Buy this album, and then pick up "True Love Waits." (Then see these two in concert, and just try and sit still!)
Rinse, wash, repeat
Haimovitz and O'Riley are great players, but this is not the '90s anymore. No one thinks that coupling Stravinsky with Arcade Fire is hip or relevant anymore. This is the same old thing that the Kronos did years ago but with less effect. Grab the first half of the program that has the real music and leave the pop stuff behind. -Bz
Soulful playing
Soulful playing by both Matt and Chris - highly recommended!!
